Carbon Costume

Mrs. Doyle (portrayed by Pauline McLynn) is the dowdy housekeeper from the comedy series Father Ted.  She works for the titular Father Ted Crilly, Father Jack Hackett, and Father Dougal McGuire.  Mrs. Doyle has messy hair and wears modest clothing.  To create your costume, you’ll need dark pantyhose, oxford shoes, and a brown midi-length skirt.  Pair this with a floral blouse that includes a tie feature at the collar.  Mrs. Doyle also wears smocks over her clothes as part of her houskeeping attire, so choose one in a neutral color and complete your costume with a cozy oversized cardigan.

Mackenzie Carpenter (played by Leighton Meester) is the protagonist of the horror movie Drive Thru.  Mackenzie and her friends are targeted by a demonic mascot, Horny the Clown.  Her style is true to the time the film was made, relying on the punk/emo aesthetic of the early 2000s.  Mackenzie wears several different outfits throughout the movie, but two of the most memorable are worn while she’s chased by the killer mascot.  To create your costume, start with eyeliner, black nail polish, and a thick black leather cuff watch.  Then, choose which outfit to recreate.  Earlier in the film, Mackenzie wears low rise grey jeans, a skull print tee, and a black zip up hoodie with white graphics.  Later, she wears black combat boots, wide leg camo pants, and a burgundy tank top.

Schrodinger (voiced by Ryoko Shiraishi and Laura Bailey) is a major antagonist in the anime series Hellsing, which means he is often at odds with the vampire Alucard.  He is often playful and teasing werecat, but that does not diminish his cruelty.  Schrodinger wears a Nazi youth uniform, which you can recreate with a short sleeved yellow button down, long black shorts, and knee high socks.  Add some accessories including a black tie, white gloves, a black belt, and a white and red striped arm band, and a leather strap over your right shoulder.  Finish your look with a blonde wig and animal ear headband.

Caeneus is a character from the new Netflix series KAOS, and is played by Misia Butler. KAOS is a modern dark comedy series that is inspired by the characters and stories of Greek mythology.

To dress like Caeneus, wear a pair of grey coveralls, a light gray dress shirt and black tie underneath, a gray work jacket, and black boots. Make the patches with any paints on transfer paper. Cut out and iron onto both the coveralls pocket and jacket pocket.

This article will be focusing on Illumi when he was a teenager, if you would like to see one of his main series outfits, please check out the article I’ve done on it here!

As a teenager, he looks significantly different to how he looking during the majority of the rest of the series. While as an adult he’s get extremely long hair, worn predominantly pulled back to expose his forehead, as a teenager he has much shorter hair, which is worn partially in his eyes. He wears an off-white turtleneck, with a two toned lavender zip-up sweater over top, followed by black pants, and matching flat black shoes.

In 1993, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke put on a legendary performance Live at the MTV Beach House. The alternative band played their mega-hit single Creep, but the concert has since become better known for their other track, Anyone Can Play Guitar. During this song, Thom goes bananas, screaming “fat, ugly, dead” before jumping into the swimming pool. Although the spring-breakers watching the spectacle at the beach house weren’t aware, it turned out that in this act, Thom nearly killed himself, simultaneously through electrocution and drowning. The bleached blonde hair, done up in a ponytail, as well as the striped black shirt, are a not-so-subtle nod to grunge rockstar Kurt Cobain, whose band Nirvana ruled the airwaves at the time.

Father Jack Hackett (played by Frank Kelly) is one of the trio of bad priests banished to Craggy Island in the British television series Father Ted.  Father Jack is an alcoholic and tends to be very rude, often more antagonistic than his fellow priests Father Ted Crilly and Father Dougal McGuire.  As is sometimes the case, the accessories are really what will make your Father Jack costume work.  Start with a black shirt and tab collar, and a black suit to match.  Then, you’ll want a balding wig that you can style to be as wildly disheveled as possible.  Use a makeup sponge and a cream makeup stick to add red blotches to your face, and then complete your outfit with a cane and a fake cigarette.

Mishima (voiced in Japanese by Daisuke Sakaguchi and in English by Sean Chiplock) is a secondary main character in the Persona 5 set of media.

He was originally on the volleyball team at Shujin Academy, until being heavily abused by the coach, Kamoshida, which in turn lead him to want to thank the Phantom Thieves for freeing him from that torment. He created the Phansite in order for other people suffering to put in their requests to the Thieves and get help from them. His Confidant Arcana card is the Moon.

Mishima has short, spiky, dark blue-black hair, and (depending on the iteration) dark-tinted golden brown eyes. We usually see him wearing the Shujin Academy uniform, with a white turtleneck shirt with sleeves rolled up past his elbows, and two black chevrons on the collar. He wears the standard uniform pants, and has loose black suspenders at his hips, and it’s finished off with white gym shoes with a chunk of green as decoration on the side.

Emcee is a character from the 1972 musical film Cabaret, and is played by Joel Grey. Emcee is the sort of narrator in the story, and is the Master of Ceremonies at the Kit Kat Club, set in 1930s Berlin.

To dress like Emcee, wear a white dress shirt, black vest, black striped trousers, a black tailcoat, and a black bow tie. Pair this with a black top hat, monocle, and wooden cane. For makeup, use a maroon liquid lipstick and apply pink blush heavily on the cheeks.

Keenan Crier (voiced by Rie Kugimiya and Brianne Siddall) is a supporting character in the anime series Digimon Data Squad.  He is a member of DATS alongside Marcus Damon, Thomas N. Norstein, and Yoshi Fujieda.  Keenan has dark blue hair and wears light blue paint on his cheeks.  To begin your costume, you’ll need orange shorts and a pale yellow tank top.  Add a belt at the waist and a green cloak over top.  Accessorize with a feather necklace, brown forearms sleeves, and baggy leg warmers.  Complete your look with brown sandals and a midnight blue wig.  Use red thread to wrap one lock of the wig to frame the right side of your face.
